| Contrasts on Snow |
Impact. Weather has far too much of it pushing on my mood. Last summer was all about when is summer going to begin. In the fall, more than just leaves flew by. Winter this year has been not a winter as summer was not a summer. The wait and see is tedious, a drain to endure.
Coping often takes the route of daydreaming positive outlooks, scenarios, experiences, hopes and such. I read briefly a few website snippets about the classification of dreams, the good, bad and the not such a great use of time. From there I decide to change how I cope with what impacts my life from sources that I cannot have control over other than the prepare. Think carry an umbrella, put on snow boots, wear sunglasses.
My daydreams lean towards fantasy. What the dreams are doing is always based in reality. What they are not heavily into is probablity. That indicates to me that my daydreams can benefit from an adjustment.
- Limit the time spent daydreaming
- Keep notes on when I space out
- Select real subjects to create scenarios
- Do not dwell on negative behaviors
- Always have a happy ending
How do you manage your daydreaming? Every think about needing to?
I haven't considered what my daydreaming is like (lately, anyway). I feel like my mind is always working, thinking, but that is different from day dreaming. I think the closest I come to day dreaming these days is when I'm drifting off to sleep and I imagine colors that might work together in a future crochet project. Okay... I realize I day dream about my garden. I imagine all sorts of things I'll likely never plant. Also, I picture myself out there on a beautiful day, taking my time admiring all the growing things, when I know the reality is more likely to be that I'm hot and will linger in the sunny garden as little as possible come summer.
ReplyDeleteBecki,
ReplyDeleteDaydreaming about a garden is a very relaxing subject.
I daydream of gardens as well.
I daydream on occasion. I usually embrace the thoughts. A friend come to visit…
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteThoughts are a good path to daydream about.
Have a wonderful week!
I don't know if I daydream, or just let my thoughts drift at times. Looking out of the window is a good time for me to daydream. I usually welcome my thoughts, and if I find I am getting into territory that makes me fearful or anxious, I stop and go do something concrete. I do think about my garden, my sewing projects, my writing - all with more ideas than I'll ever get to.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
DeleteLooking out the window is mind clearing, sort of like a yoga form for the soul.
Have a wonderful week!
I don't think I daydream much -- just ponder. Not really fantasy, just quiet problem solving!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteProblem solving daydreams can quite dynamic, especially when there are good solutions.
I switched to daydreaming about issues I don't like. Tackling what we can do now, opens up a room full of happy light bulbs.
Most of my daydreaming involves what to do on a landscape to create the effect I want, althought I suppose it would be better described as pondering.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteThere is a fine line between pondering and daydreaming.
I think of pondering as exploring, and daydreaming as traveling to the destination.
ahhh - good explanation! I ponder then - or spend a lot of time contemplating my navel.
DeleteLOL!
DeleteI wouldn't say i daydream
ReplyDeleteWilliam,
DeleteI can see that.
Thinking about things is different than daydreaming.
